Πύελος· θήκη. ἐπιστολὴν πέμπει ἐν Βυζαντίῳ, τῇ πυέλῳ τῶν ἱερῶν λειψάνων τοῦ κορυφαίου τῶν ἀποστόλων Πέτρου τὸν τοιοῦτον χάρτην ἐπιτεθεικὼς κἀκεῖθεν τοῦτον ταῖς χερσὶ τοῦ ἀποσταλέντος ἀρθῆναι ποιήσας. θερμὴν ἐς πύελον γὰρ ἐσήλυθε καὶ ἄκρητον ἔσπασεν· εἶτ' ἀΐδην ψυχρὸν ἐπεσπάσατο.

Notes (2)
- The headword, a noun in the nominative singular masculine, might be quoted from somewhere or is perhaps simply generic. Either way, it is not drawn from either of the quotations given here, which have the dative singular and accusative singular respectively.
For a different gloss on the same headword, see pi 3118; and cf. pi 3117 for a related word. - 1Quotation (and individual) unidentifiable. ↩
- 2Greek Anthology 7.106.3-4 (= Diogenes Laertius 10.16) in reference to the suicide of Epicurus (epsilon 2404 etc.). ↩
